Most investors buy in this space because it aligns with capabilities and are chasing the paper returns that appear better than more stable neghborhoods but its truthfully very difficult to realize gains in this space, especially passively.  

We all start out chasing cash flow, but once you hang on to a property long enough to watch it appreciate by 50-100-150k, you realize that appreciation is the game.

Upselling: Simply put: our coaching, educational materials, access to teams on the ground, lenders, and daily live webinar calls are all included from the start and there is no conventional “upselling” that is required to receive that value.Secret: I used to think that none of this was “that complicated” as you mentioned, but then when we started FlipSystem I realized just how lost so many newer investors are.

Feel free to answer any other questions I should be ask but not smart enough to realize it 😀

It looks like you realize how expensive it is to build in DC. 

If you purchase a property with below market rent, realize it will be costly to get to market rent.  

Another thing you have to realize, in really bad, D- areas.. property damage is normal from random acts,  before I sold one of my houses-- the front window got broken TWO times by random kids throwing bricks at it, and when it was vacant-- they broke multiple windows  and kicked in the door, just for a place to hang out.

Realize these probably aren’t your REI product types, but same concept.  

The people that have tried to do STRs realize how much work it is and how hard it is to operate at a high standard.

After speaking with lenders, just a hand full, I realize there is a gaping hole in what I am attempting to do here in Memphis.
